Is a parts kit for the board set something you would be interested in? |
Yes, I would consider using a parts kit, even if it might cost slightly extra. |

No, I've either got the parts onhand and/or prefer ordering my own. |

Scott !!! I am impressed with the new setup and I really like this tune you put together ...... You have a wonderful talent my man !!!!!!
I see that new Behringer FX-DSP racked up there also .... what a great rig right? It really gives you lots of bang for the $$$ .....
Thanks for the LED information also ......

Thanks, Bill! Yeah, that Virtualizer really surprised me - it makes a nice addition to the MX-200; it's got a lot of functions in it the MX doesn't have, and it's quite a bit more tweakable in many ways.
That middle two space slot in that rack is going to be a MIDI function panel - the MPS-100, ADV MIDI and a MIDI patch bay (plus some other goodies) will eventually go there.
Cheerio,
Scott _________________ My Site |

I thought I saw/heard something new in the rack. BTW, I like the music workstation set-up you've got going there. Looks like you could use some decent speakers though.
I've been busy home-cooking some custom triple vactrols for my new six-stage vibe effect, so we have some catching up to do I guess. . . . |

Hey Dan, I have never seen specific low current (like 2 MA) blue LED's ...... Just yellow, Green and Red ...... I am not sure even the white LED's come in lower current versions ??? Most Blue LED's I see use a test current of 20 MA. They may, however work with just 2 MA but you would have to experiment. It seems that the guys have used the 20 MA red LED's at 2 MA and they seem to work OK ...

Thanks Bill,
I figure I'll play around with stuff like that and see what I can come up with. I have a bunch of blue LED's I cannibalized from Christmas light strings I picked up on clearance after the season. I might give them a try to see if I can get away with using them. |

Your welcome Dan. Good idea to just pull those LED's from the light string Just hand pick the ones that give you good, and uniform, brightness using only 2 MA of current ........ Should be interesting to know the result .......

So, has anyone had problems using 'regular' LEDs (ie 20-30mA)? I've got some blues & whites that I would like to use, however I will use the high efficiency reds/greens/yellows if I have to....  _________________ Don't feed me Indian, you WILL regret it!

The main thing to keep in mind is that you can't put 20-30mA through them. (I think blues/whites will need even more)
The 6K8 current limiting resistors are pretty much a fixed feature, because if you come any lower you could get a situation where all the LEDs are lit at the same time, and with anything more than about 5mA each you will smoke your 4034s.
I found standard LEDs to be okay, as with only 5mA or so, they still look fine.
You don't want really bright LEDs anyway, as with 12 or so on at a time it would get really distracting and hard on your eyes. _________________ What makes a space ours, is what we put there, and what we do there. |

I used the LOW Current High Efficiency LED's from Mouser. I have attached the catalog page.
I used these T1 3/4 size low current LED's with the Cliplite holders.
The holders work the best when mounted into a 3 mm panel thickness. Consult the Cliplite data sheet for mounting dimensions.
